ORGANISATION Gray Track (Exotic) Also: National Academy of Science and Arts LLC, InterNASA, NASA LLC

01 Executive_Summary

InterNASA (National Academy of Science and Arts LLC DBA InterNASA) was a Utah LLC launched by Joe Firmage in 2016. It claimed to pursue advanced propulsion and energy research with government connections. The LLC is now expired. The venture collapsed in 2018-2019 amid allegations of fraud, unpaid compensation, and false claims about government contracts.

03 Deep_Dive_Intelligence

InterNASA was registered as a Utah LLC under the name National Academy of Science and Arts, LLC, doing business as InterNASA. It was launched by Joe Firmage in 2016 as a successor to his earlier Motion Sciences Organization. The venture attracted investors including former Congressman Daniel Marriott and employed Bob Kiviat as a producer. Ronald Pandolfi served as an advisor. Eric Hermanson participated in what he later described as a "special project" through InterNASA, claiming it was a CIA Special Access Program. Public evidence does not support the CIA SAP claim and instead supports a private commercial venture. The Marmer v. Firmage lawsuit alleges InterNASA claimed a $200 million DOD contract that did not exist, obtaining $666,717 from investors with no returns. Kiviat sued for approximately $300,000 in unpaid compensation. The Utah LLC is now expired. Firmage was arrested on criminal fraud charges related to InterNASA investor solicitation and ordered to stand trial in February 2024. A default judgment was entered against Firmage in the Marmer case in August 2024.

TTSA Parallel Structure:

  • InterNASA (2016) and TTSA (2017) were parallel cut-outs
  • InterNASA: private/quiet cut-out (technology assessment)
  • TTSA: public/loud cut-out (disclosure)
  • Puthoff was the common link
  • One-year stagger suggests coordinated strategy
  • Both collapsed when cut-outs no longer needed
  • InterNASA used 'intelligence summaries' and surveillance — IC methods
